Bronx mom shot in front of her 2-year-old

NEW YORK (AP) — Police say a mother of four was fatally shot in front of her toddler and fell to the street clutching the boy's hand.

Police say Claudia Millan was returning to her Bronx home at about 11 p.m. Sunday when she was shot in the face. She was hospitalized and later died.

Her neighbor told the Daily News that she heard the shot, rant to the street and found her friend lying on the pavement next to her 2-year-old. The boy was unharmed. Neighbor Edith Rivera says Millan had three other kids; an 11-year-old son, who is blind, an 8-year-old daughter, a 7-year-old son.

Millan's husband was traveling at the time of the shooting and said he had been planning to move the family out of state.
